Oh, I'm so glad to see you around and to hear you're back wrting fic!
Now I'm eager to meet your HuffleDraco (and I hope he doesn't mind my capitalisation :)), and I'm happy for him! I'm trying to imagine how motivating it must feel to have your fic received like that.
Thank you for writing about your decision to stay in the fandom. I understand that some people feel they want to or must leave. Just as you say about yourself, i have devoted so much time and love to hp fic and the hp fandom. i will continue to put love into my works. I've never been good at following what writers say outside their work, and it's thanks to the fandom I've now (after my return last year) learnt to understand better how I can't accept JKR's views. But my fic has never been based on anything she said outside the first five HP books – and as far as I've been influenced by the last two books, it's meant that I've been emphasising what I found probliematic in her choices. What I've written and continue to write doesn't belong to her. I hope there'll be people who stay and continue to write better stories.
